Human Powered Modular SystemPurpose:
Create a device capable of providing basic needs to people in developing nations at a relatively low cost
Focus:Water purification is most important featureAdditional modules for switching functionsLow cost

Human Power SupplyFor long duration / low intensity operations
Human input = 0.1 hp Very sustainable for a healthy person Short duration / low intensity operations will not
overly tire the operator
For Short duration / high intensity operations Human input = 0.2 hp Sustainable for durations less than 3 hours Will leave the operator very tired after extended
operation

Reverse OsmosisTwo liquids of different concentrations
separated by semi-permeable membraneLess saturated naturally flows into more
saturatedPressure is applied to reverse this
process and is known as reverseosmosis or RO
Dirty water flows throughmembrane thereby filtering it
dirty water clean water

Numerical AnalysisPower requirement:
P = Q*p(P: Power, Q: volumetric flow rate, p: pressure)
p = 100 psiQ = 19 gal/hr
P = 0.019 HP

UV PurificationDisables reproduction of microorganismsRO system filters outMost effective at 253.7 nm wavelength
Different microorganisms require different intensitiesAverage approx. 30 mJ/cm2
Power required depends on exposure time affected by:Size of bulb and pipeFlow rate of water

Electrical Generation ModuleGoals:
Charge various types of batteries up to 12V Provide a source of low current DC electricity for
high efficiency light sources (LED based)
Design Criteria: Human input = 0.2 hp Expected efficiency = 30% Expected output = 4 Amps (for 12V)

Irrigation ModuleGoals:
Obtain unfiltered water Irrigate a small field
Design Criteria: Flow Rate, Q = 5 GPM Well Depth = 100 ft Human Input = 0.18 hp Reliable Long pump life Simple to maintain

Grist Mill ModuleGoals:
Grind grain
Design: Must accept various types of grain Must be able to provide different levels of grind
fineness: Fine grinds for flower Coarse grinds for cornmeal

Conclusion Uses:
Developing nationsEmergency disaster response (e.g. FEMA)Camping/backpacking
Expected final cost:Approx. $500 for base system w/ water purification
moduleRoughly couple hundred dollars per additional
module
